EPTReally happy that Blizzard chopped down the overall size of the ladder pool. I'm not stuck with the inevitability of playing a map I heavily do not enjoy.
I really do wish they got rid of Derelict Watcher instead of Neo Planet S, though...New Maps for Season 5 2013 - Page 12

Now, on the maps that got swapped, I am not sure how I feel about them yet. I think ill have to play them for awhile. I also feel like whirlwind has been in there for quite a while, perhaps partly because we haven't had a good big map to replace it? So yeah, ill be looking out for good giant ass maps in the future. Frost seems pretty big, but it is still smaller than whirlwind if I am not mistaken? Esp with 4ths going towards the middle, it can start to 'feel' alot smaller by the time the lategame gets there. Again, I'll have to play the map abit first. | ||

But the new ones look cool and I like the fact that they remove more 4 player maps. 2 player maps ftw! | ||

You are so right ! i'm going to design a map where you cannot be attacked at your 3rd, and 4th and 6th ! In fact you wont be able to attack at all ! Seriously. If it's so easy to defend. Where is the fun ? | ||

If you look at fighting spirit you needed to take another main or natural to get a fourth, which meant you had to move around the edge of the map. Up until now in SC2 there's never any reason unless you're attacking to leave your corner of the map and it's horrible. I dont understand, if its incredibly easy to secure 3 base eco, how is it fair that zerg will have an incredibly difficult time securing a 4th? especially when T can sit on his 3 base for like forever but the Zerg REALLY need the gas from a fourth? (yes im obviously race biased but it doesnt change the fact that this is a genuine question coming from me) | ||

Mineral only bases need to make a return especially if the maps are going to have super easy thirds, but the thing is your fourth isn't that hard to take against mech. If you're playing against mech you can pretty much take four bases for free if you use your mobility well enough. | ||

I dont see how mineral only bases would be fair, in fact Zerg still need the gas while Terran bio play would again get an edge (its riddicilous how much gas som terrans pool in TvZ imo) and if its hard to take a 3rd, we have the problem were T and P can safely sit on 2 bases but the zerg needs to secure a 3rd in order to keep up. | ||
